Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Graded Work in Arithmetic

The book begins with a thorough review of the work Of the preceding years, the principles already developed being applied to problems of greater difficulty.

The chapter on denominate numbers lays particular stress on circular measure, and on longitude and time. Practical mensuration is completed. The treatment Of percentage and its applications - commission, trade dis count, taxes, insurance, and interest - is continued and extended. The subjects introduced for the first time in this book are duties or customs, commercial forms, bank discount, exchange, and simple and compound proportion. Under areas and volumes is included a discussion Of areas Of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones, and of volumes Of cones and pyramids.

As in the preceding books, the method Of treatment is largely inductive. By means of illustrations and care fully graded questions the pupil is led to see the reason for the various processes, and is encouraged to formulate his own methods Of operation.
